Five balls of life

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work ,family ,health,friends and spirit and you are keeping all of them in the air. You wil soon understand that wirk is a rubber ball--family, health,friends and spirit are made o f glass. I f you drop one of them ,they will be scattered or damaged .They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for banlance in you life .How?
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others .It is because we are diffrent that each of us is special .
Do not set your goals by what other people deem important .Only you know what is best for you.
Do not let you life slip though your fingers by living in the past or in the future.By living your life one day at a time ,you live all the days of you life .
Do not give up when you still have something to give .Nothing is readay over until the moment you stop trying .
Do not be afraid to encouter risks .It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not run thyough life so fast that you forget to enjoy life for itself.
Do not forget ,a person 's greatest emotional need is to fell appreciated .
Do not be afraid to learn knowledge is weightess ,a treasure you can always carry easily.
Do not use time or words carelessly .Neither can be wrong.
Life is not a race ,but a journey to be saved each step of the way.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift . That is why we call it : the present .

Travel with heart

As for me ,travel is a wonderful word .I can image that I am in a big dessert or I am in a high mountain.I can do anyting that I like to do .Just myself ,I feel a little sad ,a little hero .In a word , I think travel is in the nature of a dream.
When I was a child ,I began to prepared to travel every corner of the world .At that time, I was full of energy.I always though that travel was my job, I would travel with my heart and my lifespan.Up to now ,I found I make a big stupid mistake.For me, it just a dream ,because I have a lot of other things to do .MAYBE in my life ,the time that I travel will become little.
But I still think a lot, in the future ,if I have any chance to travel ,I will enjoy myself with all my heart . Now I can visualise me as a tourist , my ambition is to learn different culture and appreciate diffrent pastoral scenery . When I came to a new place , I will take photoes of every meaningful monument and comprehend the life and customs of the local people .
In the world ,there are so many places that are worth visiting .And the vital thing is not money or time , I think it is your aim .Today there are lot of tourist who have no job, all their possessions is a backpack and a camera .they are traveling with heart . According to them ,travel is not only a way to relax but also a way to learn more about the nature and anthropology.

Be a graduate student or not

According to the reform of our educational systems ,postgraduates will have to pay tuition to colleges or universities. This brings a dilemma to many undergraduaters: be a postgraduate or got employed .
The main reason for the dilemma is that ,on the one hand ,they knew their parents can not afford the tuition,and they do not like to see their parents take on financial burden for them .During the four-year college syudy ,their parents have already paid a lot of moneny for their enducation and living .Espe cially the students whose parents are farmers or laid off workers are more worried about this .But on the other hand ,they want to pursue study further, to learn more knowledge and skills in order to make greater contributions to the society in the future.
In my opinion ,they should get out of the difficult situation and go on with their studies as postgraduates .As far as the tution is concerned ,they can always find some ways to raise it. They can do some part-time jobs in their spare time ,or borrow some money from their relatives or friends or apply to the bank for some laons ,They can also try to obtain some scholarship by studing hard and doing well in their research work.

Shopping witn savvy

Clothing shopping is fun,but torturtous sometimes. I hate the prices.So I have done my best to look for goods around town.And I stumbled on some wholesale clothing markets .I feel like I am in some wardrobe where I can pick out cheap things.
Now,I will give you some advises.
know your stuff
First of all ,look for the trademarket and washing instructions,usually found on the inside of the garment . This helps you judge whether the piece of clothing is made to strict standards. Second ,check the seams on the clothes .Good items are well knit and seldom have loose threads. If you are not a good atctor ,you should be aware of the average prices in the market .A normal T- shirt runs no more than 30- 40 yuan,and a pair of jeans can be had for around 50 yuan.
Check the sales
The best time to shop there could be late summer and before the Spring Festival,when there are reduced-price sales . Buying things out of season saves cash. For example , I often spent less that 10 yaun on a summer top during winter. I t will go back up to 20 yuan by summer.

You must help yourself

Yangchao is one of my classmates ,he come from sichuan province, so at the beganing his pronunciation is mixed with strong accent . It is difficult for us to understand him .
But today he gave us a big suprise ,he had made a great progress,really . His pronunciation is becomeing better and better. I am happy to see his achivements .Why he can make a different ? I think the reason is that he can help himself .
It is obvious that learning is no shortcuting. If you want to be successful,you must help yourself. Teacher may just a person who can give us methods and advises ,the vital factor is yourself .YANG said he recited more than 100 articles .Really ,it is true. Every moning ,I will always see him read English loundly , he never give up .COmpare with his spirit, I fell a little shame, how many times I spend on my major ? I always want others help me ,but I NEVER helped myself.
Now, I really realise that every one can make a miracle.Don not always help others, you should learn how to help yourself .

Quick fix society

Yestoday we learnt an article--Quick fix society.I thought a lot about it .when we want to achive something,we are always seeking a quick way .
If we wanted to be thinner,in the past ,we simply ate less of our favorite foods.But today we are not patient ,we are in a hurry to lose weight,we try the latest miracle diet,guranteed to take away ten pounds in ten days ,and if you are rich ,you can afford liposuction.
In the past ,we had a lot of time to stay with our families ,our friends. But today we just need to sent a e-mail or send a short massege .We think it is so convenient ,but our relationships are getting less and less .Maybe we had neglrcted it. When holiday is coming, we just call our parents.And we don not want to go home to talk with them,so our relationship was damaged .
we can not deny that quick fix gave us a lot ,but on the other hand ,we lose a lot also. W e lingered over every word of a classic novel or the latest best seller.Today we just read a ciondensed version.we just skim the surface of things ,and we do not get the profound meanings .There are so many things that we lost .
When did it all begin, this urge to do it now,to get it over with, or skim the surface of the life?why are we in such a hurry to save time?The sad truth is taht we don not know how to use the time we are,because we are good at is saving time ,not spending it .
Let us take the time to read every word of the story ,hear every note of the music ,and enjoy every subtle change of life .let us slow down to enjoy the life again.
